Hello hello,


New photos hot off the photoshop (complete with random stories!)


Weeny Jam (Snowboard and Ski Terrain Park Awesomeness)


Crazy, crazy stuff. Crazy people doing crazy stuff. And a few thousand hot dogs. And palm trees….lots of palm trees. Highlights: backflip hand plants, lying in the pit of the jump as people flew over me, tackling said ubiquitous palm trees. I only edited a few photos since I’m busy/lazy.


Theatre 101: Spotlight


I met with Omar a few moments before the performance. Me: “Hey Omar, you know it’s a terrible idea for me to take photos during the performance. My camera is way too noisy, and it’ll distract the audience from the show. Omar: “You are part of the show.” Me: brain explodes I get there, and, lo and behold, my name is on the list of performers. So, I played an arrogant photographer and screamed at the audience. Later, telling this to Sarah Fink, she says, “Arrogant photographer? That was acting?” Deep burn.

Normally, classical music performances are a pain to shoot. You have to be quiet (shoot only when it gets loud!) and hide in the back of a house like an art sniper. Sometimes, though, you get lucky and you get to shoot a full dress rehearsal. The photos are a lot better and you get to jump around like a monkey. Noah Lindquist requested that I shoot on the beat, which I was happy to accommodate. Watching the conductor, I felt like a real musician. Someday I’ll get my wish, and David Kechley will compose for the click of a shutter. Oh, and I haven’t finished editing the performance images—soon, though.
